Put down that Cadbury Creme Egg because Bullet Sunday starts now...
• Eggaxctly. I'm rather fond of eggs. I'll eat them just about any way you can fix them, but my favorite way to eat eggs are in a an egg salad sandwich. Which is why Easter is always an awesome holiday for me. Plenty of hard-boiled eggs means plenty of sammiches. But when I think about it, I'll eat eggs just about any way you can cook 'em...
As a vegetarian, I had given up on eggs benedict, but last year I had it made with tofu bacon instead of ham, and it was awesome. Of course, the thing about eggs is that you can't tell if they're a raging salmonella bomb just by looking at them...
Which is why every time I'm served undercooked eggs I wonder if I'm going to get the plague. The last time I was caught in a salmonella outbreak, I spent two days with non-stop diarrhea and vomiting. Which isn't the worst thing that can happen... unless you're on the toilet when you have to vomit. And trying to puke between your legs is something nobody should have to experience twice in their life.
• RIP. And so Thomas Kinkade the self-proclaimed "Painter of Light" has gone dark. And while I feel bad that the guy is dead, I can't say I'm too broken up that his output of shitty paintings will stop. Yes, I understand why his unchallenging and mediocre work was popular... it was pretty and required zero thought... but his raging success never ceased to surprise me. I mean this boring crap is what people want hanging on their wall?

I don't get it. But Kinkade obviously filled a need, so more power to him. Hopefully they have plenty of alcohol and things to get drunk and piss on in heaven... rest in peace you crazy bastard.
• Oppression. I don't normally post other people's cartoons and stuff, but this is absolute genius...
In four panels, the artist (whoever they are) has managed to perfectly summarize the disgusting hypocrisy that is running rampant through the Hard-Core Right. I am so sick and tired of hearing their whole "persecuted Christian" nonsense. Fighting back against lies, hatred, and persecution is not oppression so get over it. Believe what you want to believe and live your life... then let others do the same. Oh... and at some point you really should read that Bible you keep beating people over the head with.
• Nasty. Early this morning I received a nasty(?) comment on an old blog entry that made no sense. It was just a bunch of curse words followed by the words "I love your blog!" Much to my surprise, the commenter left what looked like a real email address. So I wrote and asked what the deal was. Almost immediately I got an automated response asking me if I wanted to make money commenting on blogs. I can only guess this means the company is trolling for trolls? Nothing on the internet surprises me anymore.
Now I've got to get back to work... so no more bullets for you!
I love comments! However, all comments are moderated, and won't appear until approved. Are you an abusive troll with nothing to contribute? Don't bother. Selling something? Don't bother. Spam linking? Don't bother.

Stealing your stolen cartoon.
I would hope so! It’s completely brilliant. 🙂
1) The little deviled egg cartoon cracks me up, giggle!
2) I have had food poisoning going out both ends, and in trying to avoid barfing between my legs, I hurled into the sink (very small bathroom) and it totally clogged, and we had to call the super to clean out my barf clogged sink, AND my husband got mad at me for the clogging, so it was a total trifecta of shit. In other words, you can’t win in that situation. Don’t even try.
Maybe I am slightly nieve but I was surprised to just find out you are a vegetarian who loves Hard Rock Cafe.
Salmonella? Why? because we have egg white intolerence. I remember I have it every time I make cake batter and taste it.
Oh man – yesterday I had 2 deviled eggs (with sweet relish – yum) and it’d been so, so long… Delicious!
My folks love Thomas K and have a few of his paintings in their house. I think the places look like nice places to go relax, but I never really wanted any of the paintings of remote cottages in my house. I did walk into a gallery with my dad and saw some of his other works showing city scenes that I liked okay, though. Then again, I’m more of a city mouse than a country mouse.
Here are examples.
That cartoon, as you said, exactly spells out how the bible-thumping crowd is. They berate and then when a defending retort happens, they claim their beliefs are not being respected. Disgusting on so many levels.
I love well made deviled eggs. So so good.
